One massive storm.

Many towns devastated.

NJ.com and The Star-Ledger have added new information to the Sandy Recovery Scorecard to help users track the cleanup efforts across the state.

Today, new data for building permits and demolition permits has been added, and our 15-city recovery tracker has been updated to reflect to the new numbers. The number of demolition permits in many towns, such as Toms River, spiked dramatically in March and April, a clear indication that even the hardest-hit areas of the state are beginning the process of getting back on their feet. Where demolitions were able to take place earlier, such as Sayreville and Brick, the number of building permits being issued for new construction and alterations to homes is on the rise as families begin rebuilding following the storm.

Despite the progress in many areas, each indicator has remained virtually zero in Sea Bright and Seaside Heights, where recovery, at least in terms of residential construction, has been slower to materialize.

Additionally, FEMA data is now available for all of New Jersey and can be accessed through links on any of the town pages. The statewide data provides both an interactive tree map showing how funding has been distributed proportionally, as well as a searchable database showing each payment made to a town.

Also, there are new photos – submitted by our users – of the interior damage still being cleaned up, eight months after Sandy came ashore. If you have photos of interior damage you're still cleaning up, share your photos with us.

Over the course of the next several weeks, NJ.com and The Star-Ledger will continue to roll out more additions to the Sandy Recovery Scorecard, including searchable data for all municipalities across the state, so be sure to bookmark the page and check back often.
